| Description of the problem | This vehicle has had a problem with the gas tank overflowing since it was almost new. Jeep has refused to recognize that this is a design flaw and refuses to take responsibility for the environmental and safety hazard that this flaw causes each and every time these jeeps are fueled up. At the point of filling up, the gas tank overflows sending large amounts of gas on the side of the jeep and onto the ground. This is a terrible fire and environmental hazard that could lead to public injury and even death if it caused a fire. I would be happy to provide a video of this problem occurring if needed to get this addressed. Absent action being taken here, i am not sure where to turn other than mainstream media to get action to be taken. |
